There are still a lot of people that don't buy into it. As time goes on a lot of those that do buy into are destined to be very disappointed when the government fails to deliver on these *promises*. It's not a matter of IF the US government runs out of money.

Yet honestly, not one of us is really able to debate any of this. Does anyone of us four have a degree in higher economics? If not, we aren't qualified to understand the basics of running a country, an economy, or even a state or a city. I've become "somewhat slightly" involved in our local city government, and it's thirty rounds of "what should we do".... Should we keep the city park open and maintained because grades 2-8 use the big park daily for their sports, close down one of five fire stations, or lay off yet more police officers? (At this point we've cut back on all three, plus more city services.) We've laid off way too many police officers, and vandalism spiked. Every morning we woke up to find a dozen cars hit. There is no right answer at this point. And none of us are really qualified to debate any of this at any serious level, although all of us - and the general population does. Out of the above list, when it came to finances... I would vote for Minte.

Nothing is being done and this problem has been ignored for decades. You don't see this because you fly pimp in a $200k car, and you can afford healthcare and ANY healthcare related costs. But then compare this to your employee who makes $75k a year but one third of his salary on healthcare. The benefits you offer him are utterly of no use to him; both his wife and his son have pre-existing helathcare issues and CANNOT change insurance plans. In the mean time, they continue to soak him. This isn't something I made up; A friend of mine has this exact issue. He is fifty, works construction; His son is considered a "miracle baby" because he had health problems the day he was born and will for the rest of his life, while his wife has some kind of issue that requires bi-weekly treatments. It isn't a matter of if he will go into bankruptcy, but instead it's a matter of when. He can barely afford what he is paying now, and the moment one of these two health conditions become serious and life threatening, he will not be able to afford the out of pocket costs and will be forced into bankruptcy. These costs, repeated hundreds of thousands of times a year, are added on to future healthcare costs which only makes the problem worse. I can't really begin to debate Obamacare; I cannot figure out what is real and what is lies by one side or the other. I don't want something forced on me, and I don't want something that fucks up my taxes because I already have an accountant who ensures I pay as little taxes as possible. I like what Hawaii has; Their healthcare coverage is 92% which is outstanding. Something needs to be done, and clearly the Republicans weren't up to it. Then Obamacare came along, and Republicans have spent three or four years trying to destroy it.

The recession was an excuse for companies to dump payrolls. They were doing this during the magical bush years but most weren't paying attention. My Dad worked for a health ins company and they were getting rid of more and more people before the recession happened. Its one of the easiest ways to make a balance sheet look good and you need less people than you once did,technology is a blessing and curse. . My insurance has gone up every year since I first got it, 12 yrs ago. Its just the excuse. Mark my words once its running more will be happy then pissed. That is why GOP noise machine has kicked up a notch. I think it should of been medicare for all myself and you want more you buy a ridder. |

And in the event our government is forced into a shut down... Everyone in Congress goes home (at their own expense), no power in the federal buildings, and no guards.
See how quickly that shit will last.

Obamacare is not supposed to be the be-all-end-all to everything healthcare, it's a starting point.
To my understanding, it is supposed to give everyone basic health insurance coverage to some degree. I am sure Minte and the rich, much like in other countries, will pay additional for premium healthcare which will be offered I am sure. You will simply have different tiers of care based on your wealth. Obamacare is supposed to help to reduce healthcare costs giving people basic health coverage where people take advantage of preventive care lowering costs overall. You have more people in the pool to also allow high risk people to get covered where before they had to do without unless they paid very high premiums. Everyone can now get covered regardless if they have AID, cancer, diabetes, whatever. This is version one of this program. It's not going to be magically perfect on it's first roll out, and I am sure if you open up a history book of socialized medicine in other countries, it wasn't perfect there either. ![]() |

Dude, that last picture is ridiculous.
The Insurance Company just hit the fucking jackpot with ObamaCare! IF he had done singlepayer...they would have been out of business. Instead...they just got handed tens of millions of new customers by the Democrats. I wish the govt. would FORCE people to buy my products too. Must be fucking nice. ![]() The insurance companies don't like ObamaCare? Give me a fucking break! This is the greatest thing that ever happened for them. |

ObamaCare at first was widely thought to be a completely different animal than what this monstrosity has turned out to be. But after Obama had those initial meetings with Big Pharma and gave them all their assurances...up next were the insurance companies. And if this isn't the greatest thing for Insurance Companies that ever happened... They now have the govt. forcing every human being in the United States Of America to buy their product whether they want to or not. It just doesn't get any better than that. If Obama and the Democrats had went with Single Pay...the insurance companies would have went out of business. And the thing that keeps being "forgotten" is...they COULD have done it. This ObamaCare that we now have wasn't written to help appease Republicans...not ONE Republican voted for it, and not ONE Republican was allowed to write it or have anything to do with the writing of it. This is all Democrat, and is making a fortune for the Insurance Companies...well, even MORE of a fortune for the Insurance Companies. I only wish that there was a law that said everybody in this country would be FORCED to buy a product of mine. That's over 300 million "customers" who have no freedom to decide whether they want it or not. That's just too sweet. |

As for the insurance companies I think the insurance companies still do not like the law because they are pretty much much forced to accept measures that they do not like and will reduce their bottom line.

Common sense dictates that you should never allow yourself to get back into a corner unless you are willing to come out swinging. Obama did this with Syria; He drew a line and they crossed and he looked like a dope trying not to take action. It's the same thing with this deadline. If the Republicans back down, they look like idiots and hand a win to Obamaboy. If the Republicans let the government shut down, they look like idiots and hand a win to Obamaboy. Then to top it all off... The Republican party is doing this in vain trying to shoot down a bill that is already a law, and has already been reviewed by the Supreme Court. At this point they are kicking a dead horse over and over again. I'm not saying Obamacare is perfect or even remotely good - I just don't know - but all they are doing is looking like idiots trying to kill something that is not only law, but has also faced and beat multiple legal challenges from many sources. And as for deadlines... We need a new law. Thirty days away from a deadline like this Congress should be legally restricted to their offices, not allowed to go home, not allowed to shower, not allowed to see family members... Until the deadline is met. And if said deadline isn't met, Congress shuts down, everyone goes home, and we hold new elections in thirty days. I am so not kidding here. It's time to treat Congress like the fucking children they are.

Republicans are so desperately trying to stop Obamacare before it's implemented because -- while they're optimistic it won't work -- a small part of them knows it could likely be successful, and that's a victory for Obama. The one thing they can't have is Obama having political victory, especially when they went so hard against the program. It would be the final nail in the coffin for the Republican party.

I was curious and Googled who wrote Obamacare and found out about this
Rep. Schakowsky?s husband, Robert Creamer, used to be the leader of Citizen Action/Illinois. He also founded its predecessor, Illinois Public Action, in which Ms. Schakowsky served as Program Director. He runs a political consulting firm, the Strategic Consulting Group, which lists ACORN and the SEIU among its clients and which made $541,000 working for disgraced former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. Creamer resigned from Citizen Action/Illinois after the FBI began investigating him for bank fraud and tax evasion at Illinois Public Action. He was convicted in 2006 and sentenced to five months in federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, plus eleven months of house arrest. While in prison?or ?forced sabbatical,? he called it?Creamer wrote a lengthy political manual, Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win (Seven Locks Press, 2007). The book was endorsed by leading Democrats and their allies, including SEIU boss Andy Stern?the most frequent visitor thus far to the Obama White House?and chief Obama strategist David Axelrod ... * ?We must create a national consensus that health care is a right, not a commodity; and that government must guarantee that right.? * ?We must create a national consensus that the health care system is in crisis.? * ?Our messaging program over the next two years should focus heavily on reducing the credibility of the health insurance industry and focusing on the failure of private health insurance.? * ?We need to systematically forge relationships with large sectors of the business/employer community.? * ?We need to convince political leaders that they owe their elections, at least in part, to the groundswell of support of [sic] universal health care, and that they face political peril if they fail to deliver on universal health care in 2009.? * ?We need not agree in advance on the components of a plan, but we must foster a process that can ultimately yield consensus.? * ?Over the next two years, we must design and organize a massive national field program.? * ?We must focus especially on the mobilization of the labor movement and the faith community.? * ?We must systematically leverage the connections and resources of a massive array of institutions and organizations of all types.? * ?To be successful, we must put in place commitments for hundreds of millions of dollars to be used to finance paid communications and mobilization once the battle is joined.? Creamer adds: ?To win we must not just generate understanding, but emotion?fear, revulsion, anger, disgust.? Creamer wrote his plan in 2006, explicitly proposing that it be carried out in 2009, once a ?progressive Democrat is elected President? and once Democrats could count on 60 votes in the Senate. It is curious that Creamer, sitting in prison, could have predicted the details and the timing of President Obama?s legislative agenda so precisely. The likeliest explanation is that Creamer helped design the Democrats? health care strategy. That would explain why President Obama made health care an obsession in 2009, when it was only one among many issues he raised on the campaign trail in 2008. It would explain the role of several overlapping left-wing groups, including Creamer?s own Citizen Action/Illinois. It would explain why HCAN was particularly aggressive at Rep. Schakowsky?s own town hall meeting. And Creamer?s involvement would also explain his high profile after being released from prison. He worked for the Obama campaign, training volunteers at ?Camp Obama.? He has continued his work at the Strategic Consulting Group, leading ?many of the country?s most significant issue campaigns,? he claims. He was also at the White House state dinner last month?together with Stern, Axelrod, and other cronies?despite the fact that ex-convicts are usually barred from such events.

#1 - The country currently owes $17 trillion dollars. #2 - The country currently is spending more than it is receiving in taxes. #3 - The country currently needs to borrow an additional $600 billion to cover what it currently is spending. #4 - And this is big... obamacare will cost an additional $1.2trillion a year. Where does that additional $1.2t come from? How does obamacare pay all these subsidies when the government doesn't have the money to pay for any of it.

And the name calling and finger pointing between Obama and the congress is already in full swing. The battle is whether to allow the goverment to increase the debt limit again and BORROW more money just to pay current bills and some of the interest on the debt.
Whether you are a democrat or a republican you should be calling and emailing your elected representives and teliing them this has to stop. How much more borrowing can we do. This spending is beyond out-of-control.

The health care industry paid all these right wing candidates, lobby groups, and chamber of commerce hundreds of millions of dollars to defeat Obamacare. They actually BOUGHT the elections of most of these Tea Party crazies...so yea they are doing their best to pay back their masters. Once this big budget misinformation campaign runs out of steam - and people start realizing how the ACA , while far from perfect, is a great step in the right direction - well this whole Teapublican movement will be utterly discredited and go down as one of the most absurd and corrupt chapters in our history.

Obamacare is projected to cut the national deficit by over $200 billion during it's first 10 years and over $1 trillion over the next two decades. This helps offset the up-front cost of ObamaCare. Please be aware the cost estimates are changed on a regular basis and are often quoted as being between $1 and $2.6 trillion. Our cost estimate is taken directly from the front page of the official CBO report on ObamaCare's costs. ObamaCare is paid for through collected taxes, penalties, spending cuts and reformations to the health care industry. " http://obamacarefacts.com/costof-obamacare.php

It says: "ObamaCare's cost is estimated at up to net cost of $1.1 trillion dollars over the next 10 years." And? This sounds scary but it's very misleading. Healthcare costs are going to rise no matter. If we do nothing, healthcare costs will continue to go up. The intent is to create competition, and if it works it will drive down prices. At the same time it's entirely possible that healthcare costs will go up under Obamacare, but we'll be getting a lot more for our money too.

The very first thing we need to do is stop giving money to other countries. We give out $80 to $90 billion dollars in aid per year. We give aid to countries like Israel, Philippines, and even Canada. We give out aid to ALL countries. Israel should be paying us for our support, the Philippines should be paying us to thank us for freeing them from Japan, and Canada should be paying us because our politics are so damn entertaining. In one stroke we just killed off a trillion dollars in debt.

This seems to be all the Republican party does - tries to make the other side look bad.
And it's failing them. Badly.

Your links have nothing to do with what I posted I already knew about UPS and it's targeting the spouses, not the employee's I don't care if Warren Buffet said something or not I don't care if congress is getting a special deal, I know they are because they will get paid for the rest of their lives when they are done with as little as one term

Minte gives away more in charitable donations each year than you make. Minte also provides hundreds of people with jobs and healthcare. I also understand finances, which clearly many of your ilk don't. You don't continue to waste and spend more money than you make.

Slavery was once the law of the land and passed the Supreme Court. So was Prohibition. Hell, they made a Constitutional Amendment making alcohol illegal. No way that one was EVER gonna get changed. But it did. You never say never. If ObamaCare somehow is a Godsend, then people will see it for themselves and want it. But if it continues to be something that Congress itself doesn't want to use, the Unions don't want, costs jobs, drives up insurance premiums for the majority of people...then yes, it can and will be stopped. And if you listen to what Republicans are saying in this "defunding" argument (by the way, how come it has to be funded if it's everybody buying insurance?)...they are demanding that it be delayed for citizens the same way that Obama PERSONALLY had it delayed for big businesses. The Republicans are saying it needs to be fixed before it is implemented. The Democrats are saying it needs to be implemented before it is fixed. My own thoughts are: The Democrats KNEW this was coming for 4 years. But they still didn't fix the shit that every business in America told them was going to happen. NOW...they want to put it in play and THEN fix it? Probably not the smartest thing to do. Especially if you are one of millions of struggling people who is about to lose precious hours of pay from the place you are working because the company doesn't want to pay for ObamaCare. It's easy for us to sit here and debate it. But for tens of millions of Americans who are just barely getting by already...it's disastrous. |

No they don't have to continue to rise.
We all have seen and documented that our own medical care (hospital stays, doctors visits, prescriptions) is price gouged many times more than what people pay in other countries. The federal govt. allows it. Obama even had meetings at the beginning of his Presidency to assure them he would allow it to continue. The feds try to stop people from going into Canada and Mexico for their prescriptions. It's insane. If the price gouging were STOPPED (no more $50 paper dixie cups in the hospital or $5 for a single cotton ball, etc.) then our healthcare costs would DECREASE by 500% or more. Then nobody would NEED insurance. They could just pay for it (like I did most of my life). But that won't fit with those big insurance corp. , big pharma, and big medical corp. agendas. So our Congress will NOT let that happen. ![]() |

So far the cost are lower than what has been projected. Texas for example, in Austin the med plan average rate will be $169/month B4 the subsidies are applied. Of course there is no crystal ball, but so far none of the doom and gloom that the Right has cried about is coming true. The right coined the term Obamacare expecting it to lynch him when it failed, because they were so sure it would fail. In fact the right has a lot invested in Obamacare failing. It's going to be very funny if Obamacare works and people actually want it.. I bet if that happens the righties will try to rebrand it's Freedomcare... LoL and of course that they really supported it all along. |
